Cornell swag from the heart of Big Red! After emptying your wallet on the huge selection of $$$ gear make sure to swing by the tower for cool views far above Cayugas waters
Over the past few years the cornell bookstore has fallen from grace and has been managed has poorly as one can imagine. The staff is rude and unhelpful, the lines huge, purchasing in person has become so painful that even the employees tell you to go home and order online. However the online system is also full of flaws and you almost inevitably need to try to get someone on the phone whcih is equally frustrating . The STRICT 30 day return policy and the infinitehoops one has to jump through to use a dept account make it pointless to go here at all. Other outlets for Cornell parafenials are all better option than this book store right now.
I bought an under armor men’s puffer jacket size XL. Well the jacket label is an XL it actuality it is an L.
Like the rest of campus, closed to non-students and non-employees until recently, so first time there in over a year. Books moved back in the store to make way for clothing, due to graduation. A limit of 20 minutes for eating in the cafe, due to COVID restrictions. But always a cool place.
Amazing place to show u your support to the amazing Cornell society, and make sure to get a souvenir to your loved ones.Great quality and prices.
Everything is overpriced. Literally they will send emails saying they have a sale on tech gear; however, the materials on sale are items being discontinued that have had a price reduction at every other retailer to less than what the Cornell Store is selling for.The refund policy for the tech store is completely one-sided and ridiculous.
Do not buy laptops or any other big ticket tech items here!! I bought a Mac Book Pro and asked the salesman before purchasing if it was a new laptop. He said yes and neglected to mention that it was a year old! I realized this a couple hours later and tried to return the laptop only several hours after buying it. The guy working there said I could not return it! Unbelievable! At any Apple Store or Best Buy you are allowed to return the laptop after opening the outer wrap with no questions asked! These people are crooks!
Fun place to buy Cornell. I was visiting a great friend who is a professor. Ithaca is one of the best college towns around. A three hour drive from State College.
Various choices to have what you want. The staff is welcoming and professionnal
Great AC on a hot day walking through campus. Wish they had self checkout as my off the shelf food and drink had to wait behind the people ordering complicated posh coffee that I cant spell or pronounce.
Great selection of shirts and baby items. Bought special flavored chocolate too! Bacon chocolate from Finger Lakes.
A nice place for souvenirs :) Kinda costly though
Had everything I was interested in and more!...Great savings and good quality of clothing gear...
Was busy, as there is a cafeteria inside, but went through the till pretty fast! Their clothes are ok, but its Cornell! My son loved their Snoopy inspired shirts, and I found their clothes-styles Better than Columbia!
I love Cornell store! It’s expensive but i just love the vibes and the convenience. I also appreciate how they are limiting in-store purchase to students and professors and staff during the pandemic.
Cafe Jennie is really great. There’s some good deals on apparel occasionally and sometimes the clearance books are worth checking out but unless I need something urgently I’ll buy it somewhere else because it’ll be cheaper.
College prospect visit with my son. Wonderful place, but a bit warm in the atrium section of the store. Found a neat painting for sale under register counter that would not have been seen by casual inspection. Had a canolli from the snack bar and it was delicious and fresh. Very surprising. CU seems to have it all. Hoping my son gets accepted and I get to see more of it.
Its great that this store keeps current textbooks on display throughout the semester, bexause I love to peruse the books looking for classes/subjects that I might be interested in for the future. Not many college bookstores are doing this anymore in my experience. Well done!
Easy place to get Cornell memorabilia on campus. Like how they remodeled it to let more light in via a sunroof and added a cafe as well. Also like the expanded tech section. Everythings somewhat overpriced but thats par for the course for a universitys official store.
The store was very pricey for the cheap merchandise that was there. I asked a store attendant for help and I don’t think she spoke much english. There is a lot cheaper stuff online that is better quality. Also, they do not update certain items regularly on their website and there is a good chance that they will be missing an item.
Nicely organized campus store with coffee shop two floors and reasonable prices.
A huge store with good selection of books, stationary, clothes, gifts, daily products, and even post office! Althoug things seem overpriced at first, if you choose carefully, you can find many good deals! I wanted to give this place a 5 stars, but when I think about how bad the coffee is at this stores cafe, its a 4 stars.
Everything here is ridiculously overpriced. A jacket that at any regular store will cost $50 is $100 or more here because of the Cornell branding. Their small tech store is fine though, as is their selection of journals and other stationary.
The Cornell Store has almost anything you could want when it comes to Cornell memorabilia. With a great location and friendly service, its fun just to walk around and see all the many Cornell apparel!
Certainly the best place to get Cornell gear. They must have over 100 hats.....plus the cafe has good food and coffee, with a focus on products with a Cornell connection.
Of course you can buy textbooks: the prices tend to be comparable enough with buying books online (once the shipping is added). You can also purchase office supplies and computer equipment. Cornell gear (clothing, backpacks, etc) is everywhere and of great quality.EXPECT TO PAY A HUGE AMOUNT FOR THESE ITEMS.
Its kind of overpriced, but its convenient if you need to pick up books, odds and ends, Cornell swag, and a bite to eat on campus. If you have the time to walk over to Collegetown, though, you can get convenience store items much cheaper at 7-11, Cornell merchandise at a better price at Bear Necessities, and food thats tastier and has a better variety (but admittedly is not any cheaper) at CTB, all on the same block. For books, I guess its basically your only option if you dont have time to buy online or used from students on campus. Having two local banks present, a mini post office, and a small built-in electronics store is pretty darn convenient, though, along with the ability to charge directly to department accounts if youre a Cornell employee making a purchase for work.
Good merchandise selection, yummy snacks and drinks but one star off because the eatery is a hot mess. The powers that be need to hire more people or assign one or two to clean up after the snots that cant manage it themselves!
Great selection of Cornell items, nice cafe.
As an alumnus I love this shop and the new cafe that the put in on the first floor! Back in the day they had a good art supply selection. Prices are pretty high though.
If you need Cornell stuff, they have it all. Great store. I had to make a return but couldnt find my receipt, no problem, the staff couldnt have been nicer.
Cornell rocks! This store is huge and the staff are lovely. One of the ladies, Helen I think, is the best. Love her like potatoes.
As the name suggests, it has a wide collection of Cornell merchandise including those by under armor and Nike. Look out for their sale which is held in July where you get most stuff at 40-50%off. Great quality stuff and very helpful staff as well.
Great Cornell merch as well as a selection of great gifts, food, and office supplies
A great place to visit it you want a little taste of Cornell. From gear, to snacks, to books written and signed by Cornell alums, the Cornell Store is well worth a stop.
Very expensive supplies that could be found much more cheaply nearby, perhaps a bus ride away. Primarily good for Cornell memorabilia, and perhaps that one book you forgot to grab before class for that FWS you forgot you were taking.
Its the Cornell Store. It sells Cornell stuff in a mini department store style with pleasent staff and all the necessary supplies for a kid starting their college years. Nothing astounding, but nothing disappointing either.
A very nice atmosphere, helpful employees, and a good selection of products, particularly paper/notebooks and writing instruments. Prices are rather high, but you can find some good stuff on clearance.
Great College Store - huge textbook section and a great café on the second floor. A little pricey for the school memorabilia but good quality items. Go Big Red!
Big store with a whole pretty much everything a student needs for college. Also clothing and gifts section on the second floor. Prices are reasonable and they have good back to school deals.
Clean, well kept store (with decent prices and some sale items). Theres also a quality cafe, an old timey scale thats fun to use. Staff were also friendly.
Lots of Cornell apparel, souvenirs and books. There is a lovely cafe inside the store that offers a wide variety of snacks and drinks.
Best window shopping experiences come from this store in the middle of Cornell. The food gets tiring after a while, but the Peets coffee!! so good.
Excellent place for all things Cornell. Good tech section, decent and low cost food section, plus all of the books you need for class.
Great store. So much cool Cornell gear.
Big red bear! Comprehensive campus store top to bottom.
I actually just walked through to get to the bank, but the staff was super helpful in locating the bank!
It is a great place for getting school needs but everything is just so expensive. I kind of find it absurd but if you do want to go bring a decent amount of money. But it is worth the trip.
Excellent store, personel are friendly and helpful. Prices are a little high for some things, but there are plenty of sales that happen through the year to help drop prices for some things
A lot of items that are quite nice. Its a bit pricey but if you want to bring with you a piece of Cornell, its definitely worth it.
We had a great time lots to look at and do
Surprisingly not overpriced! There is almost always a deal going on for something or other. The best place for Cornell souvenirs and textbooks!
Very helpful and friendly staff and warm, embracing atmosphere. Loved my purchases
Good food/coffee options in case you want to eat on campus, you also have banking services and can buy anything related to Cornell (books, clothes, tech stuff...) here
The swag is typical of any university store, as are the prices. The local interest section has some interesting titles on Cornell and Ithaca history.
Lots of cool Cornell swag. Also a place to eat and a tech center and helpful for textbooks but also they are pretty darn expensiveStaff in the store are very helpful too
Anyways a great experience.
Such a great store! Everything imaginable for the Cornell student and some fun things for the moms and dads too!
All Cornell Stuffs from tee to books can be found here
Nice store. Good layout. Just about everything in the world with a Cornell brand on it. No parking around, however.
Staff really nice, has almost every little thing u missss when packing for move in day, lines move pretty quick and ths location is right in the center of campus which is pretty cool
As Cornell alumni, we always visit the bookstore on out trips to Ithaca. Brings back memories.
I finally got a chance to go and get all things Cornell. Go Big Red!!❤🤍❤🤍
Convenient location, has good stationary deals sometimes, good for textbooks in a pinch, but you can find them cheaper online for sure!
This is a great place to get Cornell souvenirs. This place is so beautiful and has alot of great things. I recomend going here
Excellent service and good coffee and drinks. The store has everything Cornell that you can imagine.
Great location, has an apple-ish store in addition to other stuff. Its a must visit on a trip to Cornell.
A nice, decent selection of products. Pretty expensive, but I guess thats any campus store.
Pricey, but generally has what you need. If you need textbooks from here, I would go to the online site and get the list of textbooks that corresponds to your schedule by logging on with your netID.
It’s a nice store but overpriced.
Has all the merch required and apparently the best food on campus. Also has an outlet of the CFCU and Tompkins bank here.

Jennies cafe has some of the best food on campus!

2022-07-10A very good experience to know how to make different kinds of glass and their use cases. Make your glass is simply you see them making one for you, the part you get involved in is very limited.

2019-05-06The Cornell store has a LOT of stuff. However it is pretty expensive. On the top floor there is a really good cafe and lots of Cornell apparel. There is also a post office area where you can send stuff and buy stamps. On the bottom floor there is a CFCU and Tompkins Trust Company bank as well as school supplies for sale.

2022-04-14Electronics section has a reputation for selling products that are broken, with a difficult return policy. Despite knowing of this reputation, I fell into this trap. Buy elsewhere.
